Abstract

The race is on to e-volutionize the nation's $100 billion prescription drug business à la Amazon.com. There's just one cyber-size glitch: Most doctors aren't set up for e-commerce, which means calling, faxing, or snail-mailing scripts to Internet pharmacies. E-volution? Maybe. Revolution? Hardly.

[Clinical decision support: Is the number of medication errors reduced?].

22 papers on clinical decision support (CDS) for computer physician order entry (CPOE) and the ability to reduce medication errors were reviewed. Among the 22 original clinical trials, 21 demonstrated a reduced number of medication errors after the implementation of CDS. The effect was strongest for 2nd and 3rd generation of the CDS-systems. CPOE with CDS is time consuming and may generate new medication errors in itself. All the trials had poor designs. A Danish data source for CDS has not yet been established.
